Maintenance: Main Panel Problems

22 February 2010 No Comment

Project Requirement and Challenge:

Main 200amp panel had various problems. The problem with this job was the customer noticed the lighting in the home was flickering. They went out to the main panel and realized it was smoking. They called the fire department out and they shut the main panel down.

Project Conclusion and Solution:

We arrived the next day to this melted panel. Our solution to this problem was to replace the main panel first. Then check the wires to the circuits that had caused this problem. It turned out it was just the wires for the AC unit on the side of the home. The wires had been undersized and the breaker had failed to shut off. These wires had melted back into the walls so we needed to replace all the wire for the AC unit. This job took two days.
